How The Anti Inflammation Smoothie Recipe Works

Cucumber helps your body cool down when inflamed, celery has over 25 inflammation-fighting compounds and antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation symptoms very quickly. Pineapple juice helps reduce pain caused by inflammation due to its main enzyme known as bromelain.

Apples help reduce high blood cholesterol levels and C-reactive protein (CRP)  which is a key marker of inflammation in the body. Spinach is very high in vitamin k which is very effective in reducing inflammation in the blood while lemons contain inflammation-fighting antioxidants that help repair damaged tissues in your body.

Lastly ginger contains chemicals that are antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial. Studies show that adding ginger to your diet daily will help reduce severe inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis.
